When Local-Only And Self-Hosted Matters - When data exposure is unacceptable - local-only and self-hosted are the solution. It's not paranoia. It's a threat-modeling mindset.

@troyhunt This is the one I got. It's actually a plug. It's Matter over WiFi and works with Home Assistant. They are getting a lot of shout outs from the HA community right now. No need to download a new app just for them and #localonly

Vielleicht liegt es an meinem Alter aber für wirklich alles ne App und einen Account zu benötigen nervt mich mittlerweile extrem.

Ich lösche Accounts oder wechsel wenn es geht zu EU Alternativen oder gehe wieder ganz offline.

Streaming etc. alles geht nur noch online und wenn es dann mal nicht klappt merkt man erst wie abhängig man geworden ist.

Ich versuche nun wieder Daten #localonly und #offline zu haben damit ich jederzeit Zugriff habe und es fühlt sich gut an :)

The State of Local-Only Fediverse Posts (WIP)
Which Fediverse servers can handle local-only posts, and which apps can publish them? Here's what I've found so far.

And this is why I’ll never use “the cloud” to store ALL my passwords, no matter how salted and hashed they might be.

Are you listening @1password ???

Do you want to keep charging me money? Re-enable the #LocalOnly syncing in your service. Why are you so stubborn to impede me to sync my phone to my laptop in My home #network???

Stop the enshittification.
